It was my intention to be intrusive with this, because I felt that the users needed to know about this requirement for the program to perform well, both for themselves and others. From my previous experience with DebTorrent, I find that many people overlook port forwarding, especially since it seems like the program is performing fine without it. Can you suggest a better way to alert them? I don't want to abuse anything, but README.Debian is unread by most users, and NEWS.Debian is too unless apt-listchanges is installed (I think, even then it is only mailed to root). In your experience, will a NEWS.Debian entry reach most users? Thanks, Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
